Hybrid Solution for Joint Pain drawn attention by the World Health Organization

Joint pain and osteoarthritis are one of the most important patient complaints all over the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that by 2050, 130 million people worldwide will suffer from joint pain and osteoarthritis. Again, according to the World Health Organization; By 2050, 40 million people will lose function due to osteoarthritis.

Scientists have made an important discovery against joint pain and osteoarthritis, which the whole world is looking for a cure for and causes significant economic losses. Developed with hybrid technology, HYDRAVIC received full marks from health authorities. HYDRAVIC, which minimizes the wear on the cartilage and slows down the pressure created by the body on the cartilage, prevents patients from complaining of pain for up to 6-8 months.

Degeneration of the joints significantly complicates daily life. In an online survey of more than 24,000 people from 24 countries, 87% of respondents said they experienced joint pain. Approximately 20% of the world's population has joint pain and osteoarthritis complaints. 77% of people with joint pain state that their pain affects their daily lives. Joint pain and osteoarthritis cause depression, anxiety and social isolation.

The country with the highest prevalence of osteoarthritis in the world is the USA. More than half (18.7 million people) of adults with osteoarthritis in the United States are of working age (18-64 years). Therefore, osteoarthritis also leads to a significant loss of workforce. In a study conducted in the USA, the annual loss of labor due to osteoarthritis was calculated as 71.3 billion dollars in the 2008-2014 period.

IMPORTANT INVENTION FROM SCIENTISTS

Against joint pain and osteoarthritis, which the world is looking for a cure for, scientists have made an innovative development in intra-articular fluids. Turkish scientists have developed an intra-articular injection with the most compatible gel form with the hybrid production technology. The product, which was launched under the HYDRAVIC brand, attracts great attention all over the world.

Developed with hybrid technology and minimizing the wear on cartilage, HYDRAVIC prevents patients from complaining of pain for up to 6-8 months. Turkish scientists who developed HYDRAVIC state that patient complaints will decrease significantly.

HYDRAVIC IS VERY CLOSE TO THE HYALURONIC ACID STRUCTURE IN THE BODY

HYDRAVIC, one of the first intra-articular injections with hybrid production technology in Turkey, stands out with its patient satisfaction. Stating that HYDRAVIC minimizes the wear on the cartilage and slows down the pressure created by the body on the cartilage, Professor Serdar Sezer said, “HYDRAVIC was developed with inspiration from the complex structure of hyaluronic acid in the body. Patient satisfaction is quite good. Hybrid technology is a system that has been applied for the first time in Turkey, similar to its examples in the world. HYDRAVIC prevents patients from complaining of pain for up to 6-8 months.” uses expressions.

WHAT MAKES HYDRAVIC DIFFERENT IS THE DIFFERENCE OF ITS TECHNOLOGY

Drawing attention to the importance of hybrid technology used in the production of HYDRAVIC, Professor Serdar Sezer said, “One of the features of hybrid technology is that it creates a triggering effect for the product to produce hyaluronic acid while being excreted from the body. This has been demonstrated in in-vitro and in-vivo experiments. Clinical long-term responses are very good. In our studies while developing these products, we have observed studies that have a longer duration of action with our innovative approach that repeats the results proven in the world. After its effectiveness has been proven, we are happy to offer such a product to the market in the injection market, where we are one of the leading manufacturers in the field. We apply similar approaches across all of our product models.”

Stating that they minimize the pain experienced by the patients during the injection, Professor Sezer “What makes HYDRAVIC different from other products is its technology. It is a product that does not make the patient feel very low or no pain during the injection and relieves the patient's pain in a short time. In this technology, in addition to the molecular interaction, post-injection pain and swelling, etc., due to the production of the product in aseptic technical infrastructure. We minimize such complaints as possible.” he said.

EUROPE'S LARGEST MEDICINE AND MEDICAL DEVICE R&D CENTER IS ESTABLISHED

Stating that Europe's largest pharmaceutical and medical device R&D Center in the field of biomaterials was established in Turkey, Sezer said: “There is a need for well-equipped infrastructures in order to produce these products. It requires very serious costs. Many companies do not want to invest in such product groups, which have high infrastructure costs and are difficult to produce. With the new legislation, the costs increase significantly. We reach an annual capacity of 5.4 million units in 2023 in the HYDRAVIC production line, where we have achieved great success in the medical market.”
